Just wondering if anyone knows of a good documentary highlighting rare corals and sweet reefs. So far I've only managed to find a few IMAX flicks and the Planet Earth series. I'd like to see huge Zoa/Acan gardens in the wild if thats possible. Any ideas?.....and don't say Finding Nemo...lol

Have you watched MacGillivray Freeman's Coral Reef Adventure?

Mysteries of the Deep: The Best of Undersea Explorer is a decent 5 disk set that I picked up at a London Drugs for $20.

Blue Earth is another good 4 disk set that National Geographic produced. At one time Costco had it for pretty cheep.

Correction. Its called Blue Earth. I'm not talking about Blue Planet by BBC. That was already mentioned. Blue Earth is by National Geographic.

My bad I didn't read the part about national geographic. Theirs a reef episode in the actuall planet earth series but then theirs also a set that's just on the ocean that I bought at Costco to called the blue planet haha. Miscommunication on my part

For some hardcore reef action, check out http://www.coralscience.org. They do cool little short videos on tons of different species. Unfortunately, there isn't a whole ton out there for rare species of corals

A few other videos to check out:

Corals in the cold
Indian Ocean - In the paradise of Coral Gardens
Corals of Trawangan
Anything from Cousteau
Great Barrier Reef

The BBC also did an 8 episode, 4 disk documentary called Oceans that is rather good imo.

I was at Best Buy this weekend almost pulled the trigger on this one, (I think it was this one) Its a 3 disc set, lakes, rivers, reefs. Looked pretty good.

+1 on BBC, NG, and coral reef adventure.

Galapagos is pretty good as well but its only 40% reef related. I have a few good ones at home I will look when im there and get a few more names.
